What is the electric flux through one side of a cube that has a single point charge of-2.80μC placed at its center? Hint: You do not need to integrate any equations to get the answer

Respuesta :

Answer:

The flux through one face of a cube is  [tex]- 5.2730\times 10^{4} Wb[/tex]

Given:

Charge, Q = [tex]- 2.80\micro C = -2.80\times 10^{- 6} C[/tex]

Solution:

The electric flux, [tex]\phi_{E} = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{o}}[/tex]

Since, there are 6 faces in a cube, the flux through one face:

[tex]\phi_{E} = \frac{Q}{6\epsilon_{o}}[/tex]

[tex]\phi_{E} = \frac{-2.80\times 10^{- 6}}{6\epsilon_{o}}[/tex]

[tex]\phi_{E} = - 5.2730\times 10^{4} Wb[/tex]
